The good Doctor's opinion

 **This is a revisit of an older post. I figured it deserved a bit more attention.**   

    In general, main stream scientists and academics give bigfoot research a wide berth. Many fear that association with the subject will besmirch their reputation. Some just don't think the existence of a North American great ape is plausible. And then there's Dr. Jane Goodall.  In this audio clip the world renowned primatologist explains her views on the existence of an undiscovered species of great ape (spoiler alert, she's a believer!). The clip comes from a longer interview that originally aired Septermber 27, 2002, on Nation Public Radio's "Science Friday." (A very educational program, if I do say so myself.) 
    In researching for this article I came across a well written and interesting similar post on Cliff Barackman's blog, North American Bigfoot. The post details a personal encounter with the legendary Dr. Goodall and shows just how much of an all around awesome person she is. 

    The work Dr. Goodall has done around the world, both for the betterment of apes and humans alike, needs no introduction. Her years of experience in the field make her one of the most respected primatologists of all time. 

    Dr. Jane Goodall, similar to Dr. Jeff Meldrum, is a scientist who has dared to publicly voice her opinions on the possible existence of a North American great ape. A round of applause, if you will. Major props to you two, as well as all of the other scientists who dare to further the bounds of human understanding in the face of adversity.

    Thanks for reading!
